Politburo suspends Webster Shamu and 38 other party members

HARARE:Barely 5 days after VP Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned that Zanu PF will not hesitate to expel more members as factionalism rocks the ruling party,the 287th session of the Zanu PF politburo has endorsed the National Disciplinary Committee’s decision to suspend 39 members including Webster Shamu from three provinces that had not been discussed at the last sitting a few weeks ago.

Thirty-seven party members were suspended for two years while two others Cdes Webster Shamu and Sylvester Nguni (Mashonaland West) were suspended for three years.

Last week Zanu-PF suspended 87 members from holding any leadership positions within the party for two years, while two others were handed three-year suspensions after the Politburo upheld the recommendations of the National Disciplinary Committee.

Those who have been suspended and are legislators will, however, continue to attend parliament.
